    2002 bf225

    Looking at the diagram on boats.net, if you see that little o-ring at "7" that o-ring is the seal around it, and the small hole just to the right of it in part no. 6 (the pressure regulator), is where the filter goes. You have to remove the pressure regulator from the rail, then you'll see the...

    2005 honda 225 drive shaft/gear case stuck in block

    For context, this is what my bushing looked like after it was removed. This is what it's supposed to look like

    2005 honda 225 drive shaft/gear case stuck in block

    As chawk said, this is stuck on the bushing in the extension. I had this same issue when i first got my 225s used, and it took me hours to get the lower unit off one of the engines. Your bushing is probably chunks of brass/bronze wedged in between the drive shaft and extension case caked in...

    2001 Honda bf225 not enough power to plane

    Before going in on an ECM, have you checked to see if you were down a cylinder or have water in your combustion chambers on one cylinder? In my experience, this doesn't necessarily cause rough running. There may be a little shake at idle, but nothing that would typically alarm me. That water...

    2003 225-4 stroke Honda overheat alarm at 2500 rpm’s. Or greater running for about 5min.

    Once you remove the two bolts on the relief valve, it will probably still feel like it's bolted in. You'll be tempted to try to spend 10 minutes pulling that last bolt because it must still be bolted in given that it doesn't budge when you pry like crazy. But it's probably just corroded or...

    BF225 Leaking Oil

    I dont think there is any way that seal pulled out like that from taking the cover off. They are in there tight. I've replaced some and had to completely destroy the old ones to get them out.

    2009 BF225 Water In #6 cylinder and the Intake Manifold After Rebuild

    I had a small amount of water getting into my No. 5 (just happenstance noticed a few salt crystals in the cylinder when running a borescope after a de-carb), which I attributed to a head gasket/head issue, and kept running it with the plan to fix it in the winter, and because YOLO, I guess...

    Unknown noise - 2005 Honda BF225

    Does it make the sound if you rev it up out of gear? Sounds a bit like a loose timing belt flapping against the plastic. The first and easiest thing I'd do is check the timing belt. Just feel how loose it is with your hand. It would be noticeably loose if it was causing this sound. I...

    BF225A4 - Water Pressure Specifications

    What are normal water pressures for a Honda 225 at cruise and WOT? I finally got through going through all my pressure relief valves on my two 225s and getting them into shape--one was stuck partly open on one engine (which had head problems discussed in another thread here) and on the other...

    BF225A4 - Overheat When Getting on Plane The First Time

    Well, I finally got around to pulling the head... after putting another 30 hours on the motor and cylinder 6 eventually hydrolocked in the marina. I idled it over to the gas dock, filled it up, but then when I went to start again, it was hydrolocked. I hadn't detected any water intrusion into...

    BF225 Help Locating Fuel Rail Screen

    I'm trying to figure out where the fuel filter mesh, 16614-P5G-003, is. I can't find an explanation in the shop manual. From the parts diagram, it appears to be on the port side near the fuel pressure regulator. Do I need to remove the intake manifold to get to it?

    BF225A4 - Cranking but not Starting

    My engines were removed from my boat for a few months over the winter as I had some transom work done. The engines were re-rigged after the transom repairs were complete and now one will crank, but will not start. I confirmed I have spark. My problem is fuel. My fuel pump does not turn on...

    BF225A4 - Overheat When Getting on Plane The First Time

    So, I've got a relatively minor, but strange issue with one of my 2004 225s overheating in a very specific situation. When I launch, idle out of the marina, then get on plane, I get an overheat alarm when at around 3,000 rpm as I get it up on plane. If I turn off the motor, restart, then try...

    BF225A4 - Whining Noise Primarily at Idle

    So this may be related to some areas where the paint appears to be melting off the lower unit. There are two lines on both sides of the lower unit where the paint has come off. These were originally just on one side and I assumed the paint had just been worn or scraped off. But the same set...

    BF225A54 - Timing Belt Tension Instructions Question

    Starting a new thread on this issue. This is probably a stupid question, but I'm having difficulty understanding the Shop Manual's timing belt tension procedure at 3-23. "Rotate the crankshaft pulley counterclockwise by six teeth of the timing belt driven pulley gear, then return the...
